Job Seeking Information

"The days of working with one employer until retirement are gone forever. Today, school leavers and graduating students can expect to make at least one career change and four company changes (two of which are likely to be involuntary) during their working lives. It is vital that these people know how to conduct a successful job search. "Often the process of finding a job can be harder than the actual job a person may be employed to do. The challenge for students is to find and secure a career position - not just a job. Individuals who are flexible, willing and able to learn new skills - and willing to use and enhance their existing skills in new ways - will reap the rewards of the future."
